Oh, nice! I think your color choices really work well here! That bright, pure blue compliments the grayish and brownish neutrals beautifully. The figure/ground play keeps me interested - the blue comes forward to me, but the Tylosaurus is the focal point, which makes me keep jumping back and forth. The composition is great as well - my eyes move around and around with the implied motion of the fins (paddles? I don't know the technical term...) and tail. I also love the detail of the anemone in the foreground and the bubbles and light around the top of the piece.

I tried to go for a straightforward 3 level of distance painting with the anemone as the entry point, and a light/dark on a left-to-right, top-to-bottom diagonal for moving the eye around more easily.

More technical stuff to come in the Making Of.

Oh, the overall size is 12"x24", one of my favourite sizes to work in. The Last Refuge, Life as a Trilobite, Life with Diatoms, Maj. Billy Barker & his Pterosaur Squadron and a bunch of others are that size.

Something about this piece made me wish it was much larger, like 5 ft tall, so when you walk into the room where it hangs it would just completely absorb you! I know that's not too practical though; I never have the space to work that big. The twice-as-tall vertical orientation is definitely appealing to me.
